for rag try down the river at blyth , turn of cowpen road on to cowley road ( where the car valiting place is on the corner) drive down to the bottom were you can park , then just walk ten paces or so and your at the river , i prefer to dig the edges but its really hard going with it being rocky but an hour digging can produce enough for a decent sesh and theres some big rag to be had ive had some monsters from there or you can head out on to the mud where theres also rag but imo not as big , be carefull though as you can get stuck in the mud so best go with someone if your digging there , just google map cowley road blyth and you wont get lost . was that you i was talking to at blyth docks a few days ago i was in a green corsa ? sunday i think , the low tides are a bit early for me this week but ill prolly be down digging next friday or saturday , well hope this helps you
